Vote for Me and You Could Win a Ruff PC
Remember that Ruff PC Laptop review that Michael did a few weeks back? It seems that review was part of a review competition with the best review winning the Ruff PC. The winner is decided by readers in three rounds of voting. Amazingly enough, I made it into the second round without even knowing about it.
The competition started with 80 reviews. The top 20 with the most votes are now in round two. The top five will move onto the final round. So head over to The Thinking Blog and vote for me! If I win this PC, I’ll be giving away it to a reader who voted.
The rules are simple, cast a vote for me and then leave a comment here so I know you voted. Hopefully, we’ll have enough votes to enter the final round. Then we’ll pull out all the stops in the final round and one lucky reader will take that laptop home!
Vote for the best Ruff PC Review – Round 2

1 vote for John Chow here
adding my one vote you are now at ahead by about 60 votes.
Yup he is ahead now…by 101 votes (after I voted)
Just voted for you as well. haha, this is insane. You are destroying everyone on votes!
Voted, you are indeed killing the competition (more than everyone else put together)
He is 2nd right now after TechTreak at 80 votes behind (557-633) but they are both at huge distance from all others. 3 more days to go!
I voted as well.
Another vote for Mr. Chow!
another voted added
and I can’t spell worth crap…
you’ve gone against the rules John. They said no bribing and you are bribing us. So, I think you don’t deserve this laptop.
I suggest that you go through the rules once again. Michael did a good job and because of which you reached the second round…but this way you’ll be disqualified.
Would you like to share with all of us how is John bribing?
John is giving nothing to all who voted for him. And I think that none of us here voted for John to get Laptop? He got the vote cause he did goog job writing the review.
Ok lets get it correct…John didn’t write it. Michael wrote the post. Now, I’m not against John in any way. I’m just saying that this is called bribing….if you are not voting for him for that laptop doesn’t mean everyone else isn’t voting.
After all you are the only one who took time to read this comment and what about others…all of them have said John gets 1 vote.
So, see readers are interested in that laptop and not anything else.
He’s technically offering you an opportunity
Mayank: If you look at the second round post, it says that the winner can do whatever they want with the Ruff PC, including giving it away to one of their readers. In this way, John is sticking with the rules.
Justin: John didn’t do a good job writing the review. I did. I used to make a comment or two on every review I wrote here, correcting people when they say things like “great review john”, but I’ve grown tired of correcting them.
Nicholas: Exactly. The difference would be if John gave a Ruff PC to everyone who voted for him… now that’s an idea!
I’m just going to sound greedy here and say that if the review posted on John Chow dot Com ends up winning the competition, I should get the RuffPC, because I wrote the “best” review. Then again, if the review weren’t posted here, it would reach a much smaller audience. Hey John, sound like a deal? I’ll refund how much you paid me for that review. LOL.
Michael,
I notice your struggles too with people not realizing you write the bulk of the ReviewMe reviews here. I think you should re-negotiate for a higher payment from John for each review and just ghostwrite it for him and forgo the recognition on the Author line.
Michael…First off..great job in writing the review.
secondly, I don’t think that its written anywhere that you can do anything with the laptop.
And as I’ve said that if every blogger (taking part in contest) decided that they are giving away the laptop then the line ” THis is not a popularity contest” becomes a waste…Clearly John has more readers than every other blogger in contest.
I’m just asking for a fair contest and nothing else.
Voted!
I voted for you – you were leading the pack when I cast my vote!
I just voted. You have 7 votes, most of the rest only have one vote.

Hey! I voted for you John – all the way from Kuching, Sarawak. Malaysia!
I voted.. go go
Hi John, long time reader, (practically) first time commenter. I voted for you over at that site. I suppose I was inspired to enter your contest since I just finished up holding a giveaway contest at my own blog (first time) and in 1 week my RSS subscriptions were up 33%, I got Stumbled which led to my highest traffic day yesterday and for sure a LOT of the ideas about blogging were inspired from your writings. I haven’t been an active commenter on your site since my site has a different focus than yours – I suppose I only feel entitled to post on like themed sites… unless I have something genuine to say. Like “Thanks for all your work on this blog!”.
Thanks,
Preet
I voted.
I voted for you
Vote nr. 139 just casted
Keep going and merry Christmas to everybody
I voted! Happy Holidays!
Laura
Dude, I voted in..
You’re over 140 votes with mine
For good measure I was also the first to stumble this article with my new stumbleupon account, will you send me the laptop first so I can beat on it a little before sending it along to it’s winner??
Ugh, maybe I shouldn’t have stumbled, I ended up discovering a really bad animal brutality video (and I stumbled that too, lol).
Check out sites I’ve discovered, even entrecard got missed for weeks and I discovered that too. ( just don’t watch the animal video today) http://atvstyle.stumbleupon.com/discoveries/

(voted
)
Although I never had luck on winning things (never won anything on contests), and I know I will never win anything. Even if I win, as I’m at the other side of the world, you will find it difficult to send me the laptop
I gave you the vote not because I want to win the laptop but because you have inspired me to blog, to set goals and to struggle to live when there is no hope left.
Appreciate that a lot.
Just voted for ya, John…Merry Christmas!!
I figured I didn’t make it to the second round, so ya got my vote!
Apparently they’ve decided to add up the votes from all three rounds. John only got 5 votes the first round. John should still be winning, but will still need votes.
Voted!
Time to replace my old P3-500 PC 
Whew! Got to the comment box at last!
Voted!!!!! Goodluck! 
I voted for you, John, and I’d like to take a moment to say that your review actually piqued my interest in a product I’d otherwise never heard of, so I’ll not cry, “Foul!” about your soliciting votes on your own personal blog where you may write whatever you darn well please. I really appreciated your review and thought it was thorough and thought-provoking. Thank you.
i voted for you john could really do with a ruff pc
. Merry Christmas Sir!
Looks like you’re in the lead by quite a bit now, as of my vote 51% were for John Chow. Good Luck

Hi John
Of course I voted for you. You are the champ, and I wasn’t a candidate anyway….
Now the question is: can you afford the postage if I won? Postage all the way over to little cold Denmark at the south of Scandinavia in northern Europe isn’t the cheapest of destinations.
Happy New Year everyone.
Essie
Just voted for you John!!! Good luck!
Voted for you! Hope my first comment on this wonderful blog would be my luckiest..
1 vote from me!
Go JC! Looks like you are pulling away!
I voted for you!
I may not qualify for the laptop, because I live half-way across the globe. But I’m voting for you anyway because you have a terrific blog!
Dean
Looks like Michael’s review will take this out easily. At the time I voted the only review that stands a chance against him is sitting on 16% or so.
Got my vote, Congratu… err, I mean – Good Luck!
Voted for you.
I voted for the main man John Chow!
John, I traveled far and beyond to for for you!
.. oh well.. not really though… I voted from my room hehehehe… but anyway.. I voted for you because I think your site helps me to understand things that relate to making money online.
I’m yet to follow your footsteps, but I continue to learn from you.

I noticed my email was incorrect so i had to resend my comment.
Hi John
I did not vote for you, because i am in the competition
You are going very well, but i won’t give up easily 
Mine is 18.Search For Blogging. A laptop is a laptop, no special meaning or motivation for me. My aim is to prove that fair play can win in any case.
Enjoy the competition!
Done!
I read the article and a couple of the others and I thought your article actually did deserve the vote – boy I want one now! Had my mouth watering but I bet down here in good ol’ New Zealand it will take a long time to get them (and I guess my chances of winning here will be slim too ) but if i did win then I would be like the first person of everyone I know that had one.
Count me in! I voted
